On the 6th, Mercury also moves home to Gemini, your zone of partnership which could make business partnerships and collaborations a source of extra income, while romantic relationships win with a little spontaneity. Those that can show you something new are the ones to look for.

On June 9th, the Full Moon in Sagittarius lands in your zone of self-image and confidence. Under the full moon putting the spotlight on you and your needs, you could have an aha moment when it comes to what you want and the direction you want to go in, especially when it comes to leaving behind something or someone that’s been holding you back. You of all people know that you have the power to write your destiny regardless of whatever may happen. This moon will give you the fuel you need to move past challenges. At the same time, this moon could help to bring attention and fanfare to your front door, which means if you’ve been wanting to get noticed or put your name out there, this moon will help spread the word far and wide. Another blessing comes around on June 9th when Jupiter, your patron saint, finally moves forward in Libra, your zone of friendship and future plans. With Jupiter moving forward, you should be able to better capitalize on the reputation, work, or brand that you’ve been steadily building. Between Mercury in Gemini and Jupiter in Libra, this is the time to connect and establish relationships with others as a means of moving forward too.

On the 21st, the Sun enters Cancer bringing the focus back inward. With Mercury also entering Cancer that day, you can work with this cosmic combination to help you with releasing any outdated beliefs while learning how your thoughts and feelings influence what happens in your outer world. Simply put: if you expect things to go sour they will. Focus on the things that you do want. Then look to the New Moon in Cancer (June 23rd) to deliver. P.S. watch your money closely.

Relationships are a major focus for you this month, with multiple planets in Cancer activating your zone of partnership and marriage. The action begins on June 4th, when Mars enters Cancer first. With Mars here, you’ll feel motivated to join forces with others as a way of improving or increasing what you already have, especially when it comes to business partnerships. The point of having Mars here is to team up and learn from those that can help you to shake up your routines and try something new. If you have a large task to undertake, Mars can help you to get people on your side that are focused and ready to work. If you’re in a romantic relationship, you’ll find that staying active and busy together will recharge the two of you as well as the relationship. Meanwhile, Capricorns looking for love will find themselves being attracted the most to adventurous, passionate souls. However, the downside to this transit is of course arguments and fighting. If there’s something you’ve been avoiding dealing with when it comes to an important relationship, Mars will stir it up and force you to confront it.

The intensity eases up a bit as Venus enters Taurus – your zone of fun, creativity and romance – on June 6th. Love becomes a bright spot for you, increasing the chances of meeting someone new, while coupled Capricorns should find themselves happily remembering what they love about their partner. Creatively, you’ll also be doing well, which means this is the perfect time for bringing a creative brainchild into the world. Not only will Venus be helping you making money from what you create, but you’ll remember what it’s like to truly enjoy what you do. If pleasure has been a foreign concept lately, it’s time to indulge. When Mercury enters Gemini (your zone of work, health, and routine) on June 6th, prepare to be busy. Work to get your health and schedule in order.

Your health will also be highlighted under the Full Moon in Sagittarius in on June 9th, as the moon illuminates your zone of rest, retreat, and healing. This full moon could feel rather cathartic for you, so it will be important to give yourself some space or solitude to release any feelings you’ve been trying to solider through. Look to this as a time to release the things you can’t control, to let go of any self-limiting beliefs, and to seek out resources that support you on an emotional and spiritual level (like a meditation retreat). On the same day Jupiter goes direct in Libra, your zone of fame, career, and achievement. Things may have slowed down significantly in your professional life over the last few months, as the goal was to help you reassess your direction and what you envisioned for yourself in terms of your plans and goals. Now that the planet of opportunity is moving forward again, you can expect to move forward too. This time things will feel much easier and progress will be made much faster.

On the 21st, the Sun enters Cancer followed by communicative Mercury. Over the next few weeks, expect to meet all sorts of interesting people that can help to open your mind to all sorts of things that you may have never thought possible. For couples, this could be a good time to work on communication issues. When the New Moon in Cancer arrives on the 23rd, it’s time to do some house cleaning with your relationships.

There’s a lot going on this month – like literally. Your job will be making sure you keep your head above it all. The action starts on June 4th when aggressive Mars enters Cancer; your zone of health, work, and routine. With Mars heating up the scene, expect your schedule and work day to get real hectic, which means there will be lots more on your plate to handle. However, don’t fret too much as Mars will be giving you the energy to tackle whatever comes your way. On the same token, Mars in Cancer can be quite an emotional energy to deal with which means you’re going to have healthy outlets available to channel it. Look into boxing classes, hot yoga, Zumba, or anything that allows you to sweat and get that energy out! Be wary of emotional eating as well. Meanwhile, you could find your co-workers or boss getting under your skin faster than usual, which could have you ready to quit and move on. If you’ve been working in a toxic or unproductive work environment for far too long, Mars can help you find the motivation to move on.

By June 6th, Venus enters Taurus; your zone of home and family. With pleasure-loving Venus here, you’ll find the most joy and comfort kicking it around the house, whether with family, friends, or alone. Venus could also help you to redecorate or jazz up your living space, which could be helpful in shifting the mood or energy of your home. With all that will be going on in the world, it will be important that you have a happy space to retreat to and recharge your batteries. The intensity eases up a bit as Mercury moves home to Gemini (your zone of fun, romance, and creativity) on June 6th as well. With curious and chatty Mercury here, you’ll be in the mood to shake the dust from your feet and party. Try to get in as much fun as you can, as it will be another way you can blow off steam. Love could bring you a delightful surprise too.

On June 9th, the Full Moon in Sagittarius lights up your zone of friendship and future plans. Since full moons often represent endings or things coming to a head, there’s a chance that you and a friend might not see eye to eye. If this friend hasn’t exactly been a friend to you, saying goodbye may be exactly what you need. Another way the message of this moon could manifest, is by helping to bring you bring more attention to who you are and what you do. With this area of your chart associated with the internet and social media, you could make some major noise now that could get you noticed. On the same day, Jupiter begins moving forward in Libra (your zone of travel, education, and opportunity), which means if you’ve been feeling stuck, stalled, or stagnant in any way, you’ll have the chance to push through and get moving again. If you haven’t had the opportunity to travel abroad, Jupiter will have you ready to book that trip. Meanwhile you could also receive word of an award or acceptance when it comes to a degree program.

On the 21st the Sun enters Cancer, which means that your source of energy and confidence will come by prioritizing your responsibilities and taking better care of your body. Look to Mercury’s move to Cancer (also on the 21st) to help you with planning and getting organized. On the 23rd the New Moon in Cancer can help you start a new fitness regimen, get rid of clutter, or change unhealthy habits.

It’s time for some good times and good lovin’ this month, thanks to a crew of planets moving through Cancer; your zone of romance, creativity, and fun. The fun begins when passionate Mars enters Cancer on June 4th, stirring up your craving for thrills and excitement. Look for opportunities to get out and about and try something that you’ve never done, like deep sea diving, surfing, or driving cross country. Don’t be surprised if you suddenly find yourself in high demand either, because once people get a glimpse of that glow you’ll have, they’ll find you impossible to resist. If looking for love, Mars will bring some hot, romantic, and adventurous souls to your door step. If you choose to let one of them in, there’s a strong possibility they will open you up to positive new experiences, which could be inspirational and affirming. One thing to note, Mars isn’t exactly the committing type so enjoy the ride while it lasts as you never know how far the journey will take you.

Venus will also be on hand helping you to meet new people and pursue your creative ideas once she moves home to Taurus, your zone of communication, on June 6th. If you have something you’ve been planning that you want to share with others and put on the map, Venus will be blessing you with the gift of gab in a way that can help you talk yourself into just about anything you want. This will also be a good time you have something that visually represents you and your work like a website or Instagram account as people will be wanting to know more about you and what you do. This could also translate into something good for you financially. When Mercury moves home to Gemini (your zone of home and family) on June 6th, you may find yourself considering a move or reconnecting with your family or relatives. Since Mercury is big on thinking and writing, you might find that keeping a journal or discussing your feelings with someone you trust could be cathartic and comforting.

On June 9th, the Full Moon in Sagittarius lands in your zone of fame, career, and achievement. With this full moon thrusting you into the spotlight, you could receive reward or recognition for your hard work. As such, a promotion or some media attention could be presented to you. Sagittarius is a sign that’s all about going further, doing bigger, and doing better. Keep your eyes on the prize this week, as you could also decide to make a swift exit from where you currently work with the intent to go after an opportunity you really want. On that same day, Jupiter begins moving forward in Libra – your zone of intimacy, finances, and rebirth. If things have felt slow (or unlucky) in matters of love or money, Jupiter direct will get things moving again in a positive direction. Tap Jupiter’s lucky powers to help you with attracting what you deeply desire. Keep faith and it can happen.

On June 21st, the Sun enters Cancer which will motivate you to live your most authentic life. Simply put: if you’ve been trying to live life according to someone else’s standard, Cancer season will push you to shine your light and be yourself regardless of what anyone else has to say about it. When Mercury moves into Cancer on the 21st as well, you will find yourself in one of the most creative spaces that you’ve been in in some time. Use Mercury to intuitively follow through on any inspiration that you get as what you come up with now will be golden. Look to the New Moon on June 23rd to give yourself permission to start from a clean slate.

You should be feeling back on track this month as Mercury begins moving forward again in Aries, your zone of confidence and self-image, on May 3.

Don’t be surprised if you find yourself wanting a makeover too as you’ll be wanting a new look that matches your new outlook on life. Meanwhile, hosting Venus and Mercury in your sign means that you have the power of persuasion now, especially with Mars in talkative Gemini camped out in your zone of communication. With the help of this cosmic combination, it won’t be hard to win friends, influence others, talk yourself into an opportunity, or attract love. If you have something you want to promote, launch, publish, screen, or build an audience for – May is your month to do it, especially as the Sun enters Gemini on the 20th, followed by a New Moon in Gemini on the 25th. Writing, media, networking, and gathering new experiences will be your source of strength and good energy.

Before Gemini season arrives though, there’s some unfinished business for you to handle first thanks to the Full Moon in Scorpio (May 10) landing in your zone of finances, intimacy, and rebirth. Under this full moon, you may be pushed to put the kibosh on an intimate relationship that’s become more controlling or manipulative than supportive and nurturing. Meanwhile when it comes to your finances, you could be making a big step towards your financial security like purchasing life insurance or your own house. Either way, look to this full moon to help you find the courage to grow up in some way. The theme of money and the things you value will continue as Mercury enters Taurus, your zone of income and possessions on May 16. With Mercury here, it’s time to go over your financials and pay closer attention to the money going in and out of your bank account, as well as your perceptions around scarcity and abundance. It’s time to see the glass as half full instead of the other way around.

As your birthday season continues, you can consider this month to be a re-set of sorts, especially when it comes to your relationships, money, and the things you value. With Mercury moving forward again in Aries (your zone of rest, healing, and retreat) by May 3, you should be able to find the courage to let something you’ve been fearing go. With Mercury in one of the most sensitive zones of your chart, your intuition is spot now on, you just have to make sure you allow yourself to get quiet enough to hear it, especially with Venus in Aries calling you towards better self-care. Having Mercury in fearless Aries though, is like having that little voice in your head that tells you that you can do anything. It’s time to trust that voice, as it really means trusting yourself – especially as multiple planets begin lining up in Gemini, your zone of self-worth, income, and possessions. Mars in Gemini already kicked off the party last month, pushing you to be more demanding about getting the things that you’ve been working so hard for, while making sure others respect those demands.

And speaking of others, on May 10 a Full Moon in Scorpio lands in your zone of relationships, which may push you to end a bad relationship or force you to see someone close to you as they really are. If there’s been a drought in your love life, this full moon could also bring an end to that as well. By the 16th, when Mercury enters Taurus, your zone of self-confidence and self-image, your words will carry special power, so make sure you’re using them to speak what you want into existence. Be mindful of how you use phrases like “I can’t”, “I won’t”, “I don’t have”, “I am”, etc. On another note, you can use Mercury to meet and connect with others in a way that could lead to an opportunity or two. Prepare to sing your own praises. By the 20th, when the Sun enters Gemini, the spotlight turns back to your money and self-worth. It’s time to put yourself in spaces, working or not, that make you feel valued and productive. No more holding onto people or things out of fear. On the 25th, look to the New Moon in Gemini to help you with manifesting a new source of income.

Happy Birthday, Gemini! With a brand new year ahead of you and nearly half the cosmos behind you this month, you may feel like you can’t be stopped.

With Mercury moving forward again in Aries (your zone of friendship and future goals) on May 3, you succeed by paying closer attention to the company you keep both on and offline. With Venus back in Aries and in this area of your chart as well, there may have been some changes in your circle of friends, but you should be clearer on what friendship means to you. Simply put: if the people you know aren’t adding value to your life in some way, then what are they doing? With aggressive Mars currently in Gemini, your zone of confidence and self-image, you should be feeling assured and energized in a way that you haven’t felt for some time.

For example, if you decide to stay at your current job, asking for a raise won’t seem so daunting. One thing to note however, is that Mars can cause your expenses to rise suddenly or have you spending more money than you’re making. Try to keep an eye on your budget as best as you can and avoid impulse buys if possible.

On the subject of money, Jupiter the planet of luck and abundance begins its four-month retrograde in Libra (February 6th), in your zone of intimacy, finances, and rebirth. With Jupiter going into a bit of a hibernation mode, your job is to review and reassess your debt and financial obligations as well as the power dynamics in your closest relationships. For example, if you share a living space or financial obligations with someone, yet you’re the one paying the bulk of the balance (especially if it’s putting a strain on you), Jupiter retrograde will make sure that you have no choice but to renegotiate the agreement between you and your share of the weight. This goes for any situation in your relationships where you may be giving more than you’re receiving. Libra is all about balance and you’ll have to make sure that you have enough for yourself too. On the 7th, Mercury moves into Aquarius, your zone of rest, retreat, and release. With your birthday coming up, you’ll need the rest and solitude that Mercury in Aquarius will bring in order to clear your psychic cache and prepare for the new chapter you’re embarking on. If your mind gets too busy or anxious, Mercury can help you to find a meditative or journaling practice that can help ease your mind.

On the 10th, an influential Lunar Eclipse in Leo illuminates your zone of health, work, and routine. With an eclipse here you may decide to leave an unproductive or overly demanding job, put an end to a bad habit or addiction, or make the move to take better care of your health. Since Leo is associated with the heart, at this time you may want to visit your doctor and make sure that everything is ok with your cardiovascular system. Overall, you’re being asked to take charge over your life and take better care of what matters to you – yourself included. On the 18th, happy days are here again because it’s the start of your birthday season! The Sun enters Pisces and lights up your zone of confidence and self-image. Having the Sun back home in your sign is like having the Sun shine directly on you and you alone. Your energy, strength, charm, and mojo increase by the thousands. However, because the Universe loves you so, Mercury will also be entering Pisces (February 25th), followed by a magical Solar Eclipse in Pisces on the 26th. Under the influence of this combination, get ready for your moment in the limelight as just about anything you can conjure up can happen. This kind of mojo doesn’t come around often so make sure to use it wisely. Love, money, and happiness are yours for the taking. Happy Birthday!

Happy New Year! Here are your January 2017 Horoscopes. Make sure to read for your Sun sign (symbolized by the month and day you were born) as well as your Rising or Ascendant sign (indicated by your time of birth). Read below to find out how to make this month your own.

Aries: Slow down. While those words may seem foreign to you, understand that this is for your own benefit. You’re learning the value of conserving your energy and your time, instead of scattering yourself in a million different directions, getting bored quickly along the way. Though before you get to doing anything, it seems like there’s something (or perhaps someone) that you need to release that’s been weighing heavy on your heart. With sweet Venus in Pisces since January 2nd (joining Neptune and Mars) in your zone of rest, endings, and retreat; your source of well-being and happiness comes by way of self-care, healing, and allowing yourself your tears. Tears are cleansing! With communicative Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius (your zone of expansion and education) beginning on January 4th, part of your healing process will also include reevaluating beliefs and perceptions that you may have thought to be true. You’re becoming a different person and that old way of thinking just doesn’t apply anymore. When Mercury moves direct on the 8th; followed by it’s re-entry into clearheaded Capricorn (your zone of career and achievement) on the 12th, you should have a clearer idea in terms of where you’re headed – especially where you’re career and ambitions are concerned. For now, it’s easy does it. You’re not running a race.

Before Mercury re-enters Capricorn, there’s an intense Full Moon in Cancer landing in your zone of home and family on that same day. As a result, an emotional conversation with a family member or someone close to you could be the impetus you need to finally break free of the past, which may include a move or relocation. Though emotions may be running high at this time, look to Mercury in Capricorn to help you come up with a rational solution. On the 19th, the Sun enters Aquarius, your zone of friendship and allies. Under this influence, you get by with some help from your friends. Look to the people you know to not only be a source of support and fresh air, but to also play a key role in helping you to capitalize on the reputation you’ve been working so hard to build. When the New Moon in Aquarius lands in this same zone on the 27th, mark this as your chance to launch a project that falls along the line of tech, social media, or a humanitarian cause. If you need to drive traffic to your website or blog, the weeks that follow the New Moon can help. Though things really don’t get cooking this month until January 28th, when Mars – your ruling planet – leaves the emotional waters of Pisces and returns home to your sign. Having Mars in Aries in your zone of confidence and self-image will give you the eye of the tiger again. Look out world!

Taurus: The month opens with Venus, your ruling planet, leaving rebellious Aquarius for laid-back Pisces (January 2nd), which is a much easier place for Venus to be, especially for another laid-back sign like you. And with Venus in Pisces landing in your zone of friendship and allies, your source of pleasure will come by way of time spent cooling out in the company of good friends. Since Venus is the planet that’s also in charge of money; the people you network with now could pave the way for a few business opportunities as well. For those of you who work in nonprofit or have a crowdfunding campaign going, having Venus in this zone is also good for raising money for your cause or project. Though while we’re on the subject of money, you may need to review your finances while Mercury retrogrades in Sagittarius (your zone of intimacy and taxes) starting on January 4th. When Mercury goes direct again on the 8th, followed by Mercury’s re-entry into Capricorn (your zone of opportunity) on the 12th, you should have a clear plan on how to tackle debt or use your resources for a major investment like relocating to a new city. Overall, you can expect the first half of the month to continue the theme of freedom for you; financial freedom, spiritual freedom, mental freedom as well as the freedom to come and go as you want. This means there’s no use in trying to cling to the old and very limited way of doing things anymore.

Before Mercury moves back into Capricorn, a Full Moon in Cancer will land in your zone of communication and learning on the same day. Though this won’t be the easiest of Full Moons, this moon can help you with shifting your perspective and seeing the world around you with a fresh pair of eyes. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself wanting to travel and explore a plethora of places and information, because your brain will be hungry for stimulation. Look to this moon to help you snap of a rut. On the 19th, the Sun enters Aquarius, your zone of fame, career, and ambition. With the sun activating this area of your chart, you could be in for a promotion, increase in salary, or reward and recognition for your work. Though, look to the New Moon in Aquarius on the 27th, to see any developments in these areas. If there’s a job or opportunity that you’ve been wanting to go for, the New Moon can help. By the 28th, when Mars enters Aries, your zone of rest, healing, and retreat, you may have to actively find improved ways to deal with insomnia, stress, or anxiety. Counseling could help, as well as better routines and habits like leaving your laptop, phone, etc. outside of the bedroom.

Gemini: Your career is the focus for a good portion of the month as Venus joins Neptune and Mars in Pisces, your zone of career, fame, and ambition on January 2nd. With Venus here, you’re everyone’s darling which means you can expect to receive some goodies and good graces from your supervisor, VIPs, and the everyday public. Since Venus is in charge of money, a new job or entrepreneurial opportunity could be presented to you along with a pay increase to match. Though the key to happiness now is not so much about the money (though money is important) but rather about how in alignment you feel with what you do. This means that if an opportunity does come up for you now, don’t make your decision solely on money. On the 4th, when Mercury (your ruling planet) slides back into Sagittarius, your zone of marriage and partnership, you may need to renegotiate a business agreement or reevaluate a close relationship. Though don’t panic, as having Mercury retrograde here isn’t a bad thing as it can help you root out any problems and come up with solutions to fix them, especially when Mercury goes direct on the 8th; followed by its re-entry into realistic Capricorn on the 12th. With Mercury in Capricorn, your zone of intimacy and finances, you should be able to come up with an improved plan to not only save/handle your money better but your closest relationships too. Hint: boundaries and discipline.

Speaking of money, a Full Moon in Cancer also lands on the 12th, in your zone of income and possessions. While this moon will by no means be an easy one to deal with, it could offer the shakeup you need to stop settling for less than what you’re worth or allowing others to devalue you and what you do. Look to Mercury in Capricorn to help you see through the B.S. someone wants you to believe and make your moves in secret. Won’t they be surprised when they find out what you have up under your sleeve. On the 19th, the Sun enters Aquarius – your zone of travel, opportunity, and education; which should give you a renewed joie de vivre. With the Sun in a fellow air sign and in this area of your chart, you should be ready to take off. A plane ticket, workshop, lecture, or book could be just what you need to make a sweet escape and titillate your brain. When a New Moon in Aquarius follows on the 27th, make it your business to get in at least one new experience this month as it will give you the fresh air you’ve been craving. When Mars moves to Aries on the 28th, your zone of friendship and future goals, it’s time to take your plans up several notches. Use this time to rebrand or add some oomph to your online presence as a means of getting the right people to notice you. Networking and connecting with others whether in person or online could help you unlock opportunity. Find your tribe.

Cancer: You may find that following your heart is a recurring theme for you this month when creative Venus enters Pisces; your zone of travel, expansion, and education; on January 2nd. With Venus joining Neptune and Mars in this zone of your chart, you’re being challenged to dream big. Though to truly make those dreams happen, you’ll have to have the courage (Mars) to go after them. You shouldn’t need to try too hard to get what you want as Venus being in a fellow Water sign will help ramp up your magnetism, helping you to attract what you desire. Hint: when you light up (through what makes you happy and fuels your passion), the rest of the world lights up with you. Since responsible Saturn has been hanging around your zone of work and routine, you may not have had the opportunity to have as much fun as you’re used to, especially with Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius (January 4th) forcing you to go back and redo your work as well as look after your health. However, with Venus, your job is to not only have fun again but to expand and enrich your world while doing it. If love has been on your mind, you could meet someone now while traveling, at school, or from a different cultural background. And speaking of relationships, when Mercury goes direct on the 8th and re-enters Capricorn (your zone of partnership and marriage) on the 12th, you and your partner should be able to move forward with plans you’ve made or find yourselves with newfound clarity about the state of your relationship.

Though before Mercury moves back into Capricorn, there’s a very intense Full Moon in Cancer landing in your zone of confidence and self-image on the same day. Under this moon you may decide to end a relationship that no longer offers you any growth, hinders your freedom, or doesn’t align with the person that you want to be. Another way that this moon could shake you up is by highlighting the ways that you’ve been holding yourself back or putting your dreams on hold for the sake of someone else. Since this will most likely be a very emotional time, you’re encouraged not to make any rash decisions. Allow the level-headedness of Mercury in Capricorn to help you take a realistic look at what’s happening and fix what’s wrong. On the 19th, the Sun enters Aquarius, your zone of intimacy and finances. With the Sun in this area of your chart, you may find yourself craving a deeper romantic bond or the ability to connect with your lover in a way that you haven’t done before.

When go-getter Mars enters Aries (your zone of career and achievement) on the 28th, it’s time for you to be a go-getter too. Use Mars’ power of determination and confidence to help you succeed at what you do.

Leo:Power is a theme for you this month, and no I don’t mean the hit TV show. I mean your personal power, your sexual power, and your financial power, which comes into focus when seductive Venus enters Pisces and lands in your zone of intimacy and finances on January 2nd. With Venus here, you should find that run-of-the-mill, flimsy romantic relationships just won’t cut it now as you’re looking for something more substantial and meaningful. In other words, you’re looking for your soul mate. Though don’t let that sound more daunting than it is, as oftentimes attracting who or what you want means that you have raise the bar for yourself by letting the universe know you are no longer suffering fools. This includes not giving your power away by entertaining those who don’t value you or treat you in the way that they should. Though Venus will be ramping up your magnetism in a way now that just about everyone will be on the hunt for you, you just need to be selective about who you give access. With Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius (January 4th) – your zone of passion and romance, an ex could pop up. Watch out though. In terms of sex and intimacy, you could get the help you need to heal from a trauma or give yourself permission to explore a new facet of your sexuality, thereby finding a sense of empowerment to live and experience pleasure freely. Financially speaking, this is your time to work on issues around lack and poverty consciousness so you can command the financial security that you desire.

On the 12th, a very emotional Full Moon in Cancer lands in your zone of healing, endings, and retreat. While the discomfort that comes up under this moon should only be temporary, it should help you to release any self-limiting beliefs that you have, feelings of spiritual lack, or a fear that you’ve been trying to run away from. With Mercury direct on the 8th, and re-entering Capricorn (your zone of health, work, and routine) on the 12th; look to Mercury to help you improve your self-care habits that can help you address and tackle any difficult feelings that may come up for you now.

Since Pisces is involved here, the person you meet could be a catalyst in healing a broken or inaccessible heart, while challenging some of your more stubborn ways. Don’t freak out though Virgo, as you’re learning that there’s strength to be found in love and vulnerability. Both encourage you to grow. On the subject of growth, with Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius beginning on January 4th in your zone of home and family, you may need to review how a family legacy, emotional wound, or outdated belief from the past may be blocking you from the love you want.

Under the influence of this moon, you may be forced to confront a friend or someone close to you regarding your boundaries or the possibility that the relationship between the two of you seems to go one way.

In terms of work, a dream job could be on the horizon as you’re more interested in doing what feeds your spirit instead of solely showing up for a check. As a result, a job in the healing arts may be something that appeals to you now. Since this part of your chart also handles health, look to developing healthier habits or possibly breaking an addiction (like sugar).

Allow the power of Pisces to teach you the art of release without have to control every little thing.

Speaking of the past, when Mercury retrogrades into Sagittarius (your zone of confidence and self-image) on the 4th, consider this a good time to review where you’ve been thus far and where you would like to go. While this won’t be a time of moving forward just yet, it is a good time to do some cleaning house where it pertains to your physical fitness, appearance, wardrobe, and method of approach when it comes to going after what you want.

For example, is there a webinar or online class you’ve been dying to introduce to the masses? Or what about an essay or short story that you’ve been wanting to submit for paid publication? This won’t be about taking any old thing that comes along but rather actively putting your energy and attention on something that resonates with you on a much more deeper level. Put your dreams into action and you could make yourself quite a nice penny in the process. When communicative Mercury retrogrades back into Sagittarius (your zone of dreams, healing, and retreat) on January 4th, your intuition should be on fire!

As the humanitarian you are, you can be quite generous with your cash, even at times working for little to no pay, but if you want to upgrade your life you’ll need to have ample resources in place to support you for the long term. With Venus being the planet that represents self-worth, you may need to look at where you’ve been playing martyr or unnecessarily sacrificing yourself for others at your own expense and give yourself a hearty dose of self-love. You don’t need to feel guilty about putting you first from time to time. One thing to watch out for though is that having Venus and Mars here could have you feeling more extravagant than usual which could burn a hole through your pocket.

Though when Mercury goes direct on the 8th, and re-enters levelheaded Capricorn (your zone of healing, ending, and retreat) on the 12th as well, you could intuitively get the answers you need.

Plus with Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius (your zone of fame, career, and achievement) beginning January 4th, this will be your opportunity to refine and revise your professional plans and approach, making sure your work is gold standard.

And since we’re on the topic of what you’re leaving behind, Venus moving into Capricorn (beginning on November 11th) and into your zone of career and achievement, asks that you focus on your legacy.

You could decide to strike out on your own path or go for a position that doesn’t leave you feeling like you’re being micromanaged.

On the 11th, pleasure-loving Venus enters Capricorn (a fellow earth sign) and steps into your zone of travel, opportunity, and education.

If you find that this energy has the two of you feeling cagey, channel that passion into the bedroom or boardroom. Sometimes there’s nothing like hot, angry sex or a heated brainstorming meeting to get the blood (and creativity) pumping. On the 11th, when Venus enters Capricorn, your zone of health and routine, it’s time to make prioritizing a part of your self-care routine. You love to stay busy and are always willing to lend a helping hand to others, but if you’ve got one to many things on your plate, you risk becoming overwhelmed and burnt out.

This could mean moving or relocating to a new place, making some improvements or upgrades to your space, or setting down some better boundaries between yourself and a person (or persons) that you share a residence or property with. Since a transit like this also has a knack for bringing up old resentments or wounds, this may also be a time for you to receive some sort of therapy to help you heal issues with anger.

When gutsy Mars enters into Aquarius (November 9th), your zone of communication, whatever has been bubbling beneath the surface will need to find its way out. You’re known around the zodiac as being one of the more tell it like it is signs but since you’re also an adaptable, go with the flow kind of sign, you can sometimes put up with things way past their due date because you don’t want things to get ugly. The thing is, sometimes you need to face/handle the ugly in order to live authentically. And Mars in Aquarius certainly doesn’t want you sticking with a system, perception, or routine that is no longer working for you. On the 11th, money-loving Venus enters money-loving Capricorn, your zone of income and possessions. With Venus in this zone of your chart (along with Pluto), she will be working to help you attract opportunities that can help you increase your cash flow.

Hint: it may be doing something that’s considered non-traditional or different from your normal. Either way, the money you make now will depend on your ability to be more assertive about your self-worth and what you truly deserve. In other words, this is not a time for settling. One caveat to this transit though: a spike in unexpected expenses. Have some reserves at the ready.

Pisces: The month opens up a bit slowly thanks to action-oriented Mars entering Aquarius (November 9th) and stepping into your zone of rest, healing, and retreat. Since this zone is not a comfortable place for Mars to be, you’ll have to use Mars in Aquarius’ power to be proactive in finding new (and possibly nontraditional) ways to feed and nourish your soul. With pent up anger being one of the side effects of this transit, this could be the perfect time to start therapy. By the 11th, when pleasure loving Venus moves into Capricorn, you may feel caught between wanting to stay home and wanting to be social. However, don’t feel daunted.
